The concept of a company with almost 1M people without a PR strategy is refreshing, but reflecting a little bit more, what that also means is: now anything that we say about the employee suicides, even this, is being carefully managed.
LOL.. So, the most significant way schools distinguish themselves from jail is the decor? This represents a shift in thinking; traditionally, the main difference was that you had to commit a crime to be sent to jail, but you got sent to school for merely existing. Homeschooling: "It's not just for scary religious people anymore."
I appreciate that 2D Boy followed up with the details (i.e. a big methodological HDTISC). But I wonder: Did they understand that their reasoning was faulty in the first place and decide to release the stat anyway?
I'm interested to know whether you're using hardware that all Apple hardware is a joke compared to (e.g. 16+ cores) or hardware in a range that has vastly better price/performance than anything Apple offers (e.g. quad core desktops)
Sorry, I didn't really clarify: the outrageous claim I'm talking about is that the "the new owner is 3D Realms." 3D Realms is a company that recently cancelled the main project it had under development, laid off most of its staff, and is facing a breach of contract lawsuit from the publisher. I would have a hard time believing an announcement that 3D Realms acquired any company even if it was confirmed in 10 different major newspapers.
Cause, you know, the mountains are tall and the emperor is far away, and sometimes he gets tired of using just his own apostrophe...
Aside: Before I put all timothy-'edited' posts on my block list again, is he actually some kind of robot, with source code available somewhere for improvement?
In response to that excellent analogy, I have only two words: Mmm... Bacon.
I'm sure the local News Team in teevee box ad market here could use another round of 'computer security reporting' to put a finer point on the "hacked a group calling themselves 4chan" YouTube fiasco.
When Google started to change from just linking the "Did you mean?" results to actually inserting them in place of the results for what I actually searched for, I realized on some level that this might be appropriate for people who don't know what they're doing and aren't paying attention, and that those people might be in the majority... But I didn't bother mentioning that in my angry feedback. =)
Maybe Google doesn't care about customer feedback because they're not in a position where they have to worry about the quality of the customer experience; if so, I hope they notice when that changes.
Driver support for XP x64 is worse than for Win 7 64-bit, but it's not as bad as NT 4 was; I've run XP x64 on three different systems and drivers were always available for the chipset and other onboard hardware as well as video cards from the big 2. What was a problem was the PCI and USB odds and ends that I tend to accumulate, mostly 5-10 years old, for which manufacturer support ended long ago. For most of those, a driver isn't going to come along for either OS. And Windows 7 64-bit has the added penalty that even when 3rd party drivers are available for those devices you have to hack the OS (or choose a special boot menu item on every boot) to use unsigned drivers.
And as to that last part, I hear that if you just put the rhino ass in the freezer for a while, you can then bend it and pull the frozen crazy glue right off.
No, wait... I think that was a piece of chewing gum on a bedspread in Dorset...

Are you saying that a pirate is not a rebel just because they want 'stuff for free'? That's pretty sympathetic.

Oh, I get it... the hypocrite is you =)
Hypocritical how?
What do you use that your Apple hardware is a joke in comparison to? =)
Or, you're talking about the Apple Extended Keyboard and your reply appeared on the wrong post... =)
Sorry... "ADB-USB"? Did IBM make an ADB version, or did you mean mean PS/2-USB or maybe AT-USB [ ;) ]?
Step 1: Edit Wikipedia article to make outrageous claim. /.
Step 2: Submit story about the news to
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit.

> Windows 7 doesn't even have out of the box support for simple stuff like ION
LOL... Yeah, I guess they could instead "support" them by saying "Atom-based platforms are for losers. You really want to spend $500+."
If donations are considered "commerce" then my dictionary must be broken =(
I guess I'll have to put on my robe and wizard hat...
As usual, Hacker News had it 1) first 2) correct and 3) full of comments from people who obviously RTFA.
So perhaps someone can tell me why I still read Slashdot?
It's not a very useful heap if it has the middle value at the top.

"nearly every filesystem that supports snapshots doesn't require reserving space for them at filesystem creation time"
I don't think the guy wants to switch filesystems: "but I need something I can use on my existing ext3 file systems"

However, software support is another story.

So, you're it's illegal for me to listen to the radio if I'm not in a good mood?
Silly? On Slashdot? For shame!
